By Ruth Maclean Oaxaca City An old Mexican man, with a big moustache
and wearing a wide sombrero, ambles into the sunlit Benito Juarez
auditorium in Oaxaca City, clutching a live, twitching turkey.

Looking around for his fellow villagers, he passes rows of vividly
embroidered traditional dresses, pineapples with red ribbons tied
round their middles in bows, and thousands of sombreros like his own.

This is the Guelaguetza, a folk festival in the southern Mexican state
of Oaxaca that attracts thousands of visitors from across Mexico and
abroad.

It is also home to some of the strangest dances on the planet.
